  Hi
  I have a blog hosted at wordpress.com (algorithmicfairness.wordpress.com) and I’ve been using the Embedded Timeline feature to embed the posts on another website. Inexplicably, in the last week, the embedded timeline has stopped working. I can no longer get any content to render even though the code is still in the source of the web page and appears to be correctly pulling in the requisite javascript.

  In particular, I was using the instructions from here:
  https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/embedded-timelines/

  as well as the Timeline Creator from here:

  Same here. I have two blogs for which I’m displaying the posts on other pages. Stopped working last week.

  Even the preview pane at https://developer.wordpress.com/timeline-creation/ isn’t working.

  Thanks timethief! Had no idea we needed to add modlook tag for Staff help.

  Hmm, thanks for reporting this. We’ll do some digging, but can you each verify you’ve used https rather than http in your URLs? I’m wondering whether that’s affecting things.

  Hi @supernovia :

  Yes, I can confirm that I’m using https.

  The exact code I’m using:
  IT Tropolis
  <script type=”text/javascript”>(function(d){var f = d.getElementsByTagName(‘SCRIPT’)[0], p = d.createElement(‘SCRIPT’);p.type = ‘text/javascript’;p.async = true;p.src = ‘//widgets.wp.com/platform.js’;f.parentNode.insertBefore(p,f);}(document));</script>

  Thanks for your help!

  This is now fixed. If you’re curious, it was due to our internal upgrade to WordPress 4.5 ( https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/17/backbone-and-underscore-updated-to-latest-versions/ – see note about usage of _.template ). Thanks for reporting, and please let us know if you see any further issues!
